Fellowship Program

Clinician Educator Track

The focus of the clinical educator track is clinical nephrology and medical education. Fellows are encouraged to take the Training in Clinical Research (TICR) Program to learn basic principles of epidemiology, biostatistics, research study design, and bioethics. Clinician educator fellows are invited to teach first year medical students at UCSF in small group settings during the renal pathophysiology block. Fellows present an annual Nephrology Grand Rounds presentation which may become the basis for a review paper that may be submitted for publication.

The Haile T. Debas Academy of Medical Educators at UCSF is dedicated to teaching excellence, curriculum innovation, and scholarship in medical education. Fellows may attend Academy workshops on medical education, including effective lectures, small group leadership, evaluation and feedback, and mentorship.

The fellow may also seek additional training in clinical nephrology including kidney transplantation, abdominal imaging, renal pathology, and interventional nephrology. Clinician educator fellows are also encouraged to pursue additional training in kidney transplantation, including the kidney transplant fellowship program at UCSF directed by Dr. Deborah Adey.
